swmemc CAN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 329,247, dated October 2'7, 1885.

Application filed July 27.1885. Serial No. 172,145. (No model To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES WEINEDEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefiersonand State of Kentucky, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Swinging Cans, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to that class of cans for oil and other fluids which are arranged in a frame or casing and adapted to be tilted or swung therein from an upright to an inclined position to facilitate the outlet of fluid from them.

In my invention acombined casing and stand remains stationary at all times and in all operations of the can, and the can is jacketed at top and bottom and front and rear, and is piv oted to swing in the casing upon pins or lugs fixed in the casing, the top and bottom of the can and its jacket being inclined or beveled, the more readily to adapt it to swing in its casing and stand without moving it vertically in the casing to get a bearing for its pivots, and

.without unduly enlarging the casi n g and stand,

as has been heretofore necessary in permitting the can to swing. In my invention the can is pivoted permanently to its casing, and is heldupright therein by any suitable latch or hook,

which when released leaves the can free to be swung upon its pivots todischarge its contents.

The invention consists in a swinging can constructed and arranged as hereinafter particularly set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, in the several figures of which like parts are similarly designated, Figure 1 is a perspective view of acan embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a I side-elevation of the same with one side of the combined casing and stand removed, and showing the can in its tilted position by dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the can. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the can and its jacket detached, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the stand alone. 7

The combined casing and stand comprises side pieces, a b, the top a, the battens d e, and a bottom brace, f. The top is cut away at g to admit access tothe nozzle, vent, and handle of the can. The canhis of usual material, and

k 'l, of the can have the battensop, respectively at top and bottom, in harmony with the batteusd e of the casing and stand. The front and back strips, k I, come out flush with the sides a b, and when the can is upright in its casing and stand this construction has the appearance of a homogeneous outer casing. The can is pivoted in the sides ab by means of studs or gudgeons q g, which have fixed bearings t in said sides, and by means of which the can may be freely swung or tilted within its casing or stand, as clearly indicated by Fig. 2. The can is retained within its casing and stand by a hook, r, secured to the top 0 of the casing, and engaging an eye, 8, on the batten o, and when the can is to be tilted, so as to pour out its contents, the hook is disengaged, and the can may be then freely turned upon-its pivots.

By my construction the adjustment of the can into and out of bearings for it in pouring and packing, respectively, is obviated, and the top and bottom being beveled, so as to permit the can to freely turn within its casing and stand, I efi'ect a large economy of space in the consequent reduction in size of the article.

- in parallel planes and jacketed at front, rear,

top, and bottom, and provided with side pivots, combined with a casing and stand having fixed sides, top, and bottom andfixed bearings for the pivots of the can in its sides, substan-' tially as described.
